Grande Champagne

Cognac is rarely born of a single eau-de-vie or a single growing area, but generally from a blend of different ages and crus, sometimes up to a hundred of them.

It can be made also exclusively from certain “cru”, for example exclusively from “Grande Champagne”, but of different ages.

Grande Champagne : about 13,000 hectares of clay and compact chalk soil. The Grande Champagne cru is located around the town of Segonzac. It produces a very fine, high-quality Cognac. It is known as the Premier Cru du Cognac.

Older than Pale & Dry XO and Vesper, the EXTRA de Grande Champagne shows deep maturity and a full-bodied bouquet. The EXTRA de Grande Champagne is an original decanter, designed and blown for Delamain, in its gift box.

Un voyage de rèveIn the middle of the 18th century, James Delamain, a young man from Ireland, undertook a journey to France tracing the steps of his ancestors a century earlier. He discovered the rolling countryside of the Charente, where he promptly settled to start a family and establish his company.

The original feature of this Grande Champagne, until very recently strictly reserved for members of the family and their guests, is that it is not a blend, but an eau-de-vie from a single barrel and from a single estate. This Single Cask shows a slight difference from one cask to the other.

Vesper is the sixth canonical hour celebrated each late-afternoon: the name of this Cognac Delamain reflects its richness and near worshipful feeling .Amber tone with a bright reflection of pure gold. Powerful and persisting perfumes from this old cognac coming from the Grande Champagne.

The know how of the cognac house Delamain is fully explicit in the process of blending from natural strength (around 50% vol.) down to 40, with waht is called the 'Faibles' (weak). Its style is round, full bodied, mature and mellow. Learn More
